  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced mushrooms shiitake or button
  • 1/2 cup julienned bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water to thicken filling
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg for sealing, or use water for vegan option

For the Dipping Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat sesame oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, bean sprouts, and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in soy sauce, black pepper, and cornstarch slurry. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat. Let cool slightly.
  • Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place 2 tablespoons of the veggie mixture in the center. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly, sealing the edge with a bit of egg wash or water.
  • Frying Method: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  • Baking Option: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush egg rolls with oil and bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Air Fryer Option: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray egg rolls with oil and cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking halfway through.
  • Mix dipping sauce ingredients and serve alongside crispy veggie egg rolls.
